A method for producing a 3-hydroxy nitrogen-containing six-membered cyclic compound is provided. Namely, microbial cells of a microorganism and/or a preparation obtained from the microbial cells is allowed to act on a nicotinic acid derivative or a 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid derivative represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be the same or different, representing hydrogen atom, halogen atom, hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, cyano group, o...

An aluminum heat exchanger is made from flat aluminum tubes formed with side edge projections having engaging surfaces and coated with brazing material on the outside surface but not on the inside surface of the tube or the projections. The opposite ends of the tubes are inserted into flat tube insertion holes in opposed header tanks which have a brazing material coated on the peripheral surface of the tank, so that, during brazing of the assembled heat exchanger components, brazing material flo...
